Ratings & Reviews

After living in a house for 47 years you have no idea what to expect when selling. With the aid of a recommendation from a trusted colleague we interviewed Abbey Friend. We had the nervous anxiety of making a major life change. My wife and I interviewed Abbey Friend and felt she had the best up to date skills in today's market. Also, and more importantly, we immediately liked her and felt a welcoming presence in our home. She took over the estate sale and the clean up of the house and did not overlook the most minute detail. From scrubbing every surface to arranging for a roll off dumpster all were handled while we had taken up residency in Florida. Cannot conceive of better or more professional service. We recommend unequivocally The Friend Team: Abbey, Mandy, Brittany and Heidi. A championship team all around.

I recently had the privilege of working with Abbey Friend and her team. From the first phone call to the final sale of my home, Abbey and her team were amazing. From listing, to staging, to photos, to the walk-through appointments and everything else, Abbey and her team were knowledgeable and available. I am thrilled to say that I had an offer over the asking price within 6 days of listing my property. The house closed within 45 days with no issues. Abbey and her team were available for any question or concern I had. Abbey's sense of humor, positive attitude, commitment, attention to detail and up-to-date knowledge of the real estate market made it a pleasure to work with her. I would highly recommend Abbey and her team to anyone who needs a realtor. A totally enjoyable experience!!!!

We had a great experience with The Friend Team. We really appreciated Abbey and team's proactive communication and expertise on all steps of the process (pricing, closing, working with lawyers, etc.). They really made what can be a very stressful experience very easy. My only wish is that we still lived in NY so they could help us buy and sell all our future homes! :)

Jessica is an outstanding realtor who I would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who is highly knowledgeable of the house buying and selling process. Jessica helped my family and I purchase our home. She was patient with us through out the entire buying process. She showed all the homes we requested to see before buying our current home. The Friend Team is well organized and knowledgeable of the home buying and selling process . They did an excellent job during our home closing process and made things easier. They explained each step thoroughly and gave us a list of each step we needed to take. They collaborated well with the lawyers and the bank to bring the closing to a smooth completion. I would recommend working with the The Friend Team!

Leslie and her team are the best in the business. We never felt pressured to buy a house because the market is hot. Leslie and her team were focused on finding us our perfect home. I appreciate how they got to know us as a family first, then found homes for us to tour. Highly recommended.
